An emergency response for people living in west Cheshire has been launched to support those vulnerable groups at higher risk from serious complications as a result of COVID-19 infection.
The government is now advising people with the most serious underlying conditions to remain in strict isolation, to protect themselves and the NHS. Councils across the country have now established local hubs, to support people to access food, medical supplies and social support. This has been achieved by co-ordinating work between front-line council and NHS staff, partner agencies, local and national businesses and volunteers. Over 1500 people have responded to Cheshire West and Chester’s call for a community response, to help ensure that physical distancing doesn’t need to mean social isolation.
Household Waste Recycling Centres are closed
Cheshire West and Chester Council and its partners HM Martins have taken the decision to close all household waste recycling centres in the borough until further notice.
Residents are asked to keep bulky items, DIY waste and other waste they usually take to the recycling centre stored safely at home until the sites re open. Residents are asked not to put items out with the kerbside collections as they will not be collected.
Dropping items outside a closed HWRC or on any public space will be classed as fly tipping.

Coronavirus Scam Warning 24/03/2020

| Residents across Cheshire are being urged to be vigilant following an emerging national trend of fraudsters taking advantage of the current Coronavirus pandemic. Nationally, there have been reports of people visiting homes posing as police officers and health officials in a bid to gain entry to homes of the elderly and vulnerable. Some reports suggest scammers are even promising fake coronavirus tests or offering to deliver shopping and other essentials in exchange for money to assist those who are self-isolating. Whilst there have been no specific reports within the county residents are urged to remain vigilant and be on their guard. Police and crime commissioner David Keane said: “It is despicable that fraudsters are exploiting this public health emergency and targeting the most vulnerable people in our communities at a time when they are more vulnerable than ever. “Police in Cheshire are continuing to work hard to keep us safe in these uncertain times and I would urge you to follow the key scam advice below to help you stay safe in your homes.” Key advice •Police officers will never approach you to take a Coronavirus test. •If someone knocks at your door, always examine and check their identification. If you are unsure please call the organisation or company they are claiming to work for. If they are genuine they will not mind. •You do not have to let them in and they must leave if you tell them to. •Never let anyone in your house unless they are someone you know and trust. •If someone is trying to rush you into doing something, handing over money or taking a test it is likely that they are involved in a scam. •Never give money or your card and pin number to anyone. •Be aware that scammers can be clever, they will have done their homework and will often know a lot of information about people they target. Often they are very organised. •If you believe that you have been victim of fraud call us on 101 or report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.  |

Update From The Parish Church Of St John, Kinsgley.
The Parish Church of St John’s Kingsley
‘How can we sing the Lord’s Song in a strange land’ Psalm 137
Our doors may be closed but we are still open for business as we learn to do church in a different way during this unprecedented situation we find ourselves in
The Archbishop’s write –
‘Being a part of the Church of England is going to look very different in the days ahead. Our life is going to be less characterised by attendance at church on Sunday, and more characterised by the prayer and service we offer each day. We may not be able to pray with people in the ways that we used to, but we can certainly pray for people. And we can certainly offer practical care and support. Then by our service, and by our love, Jesus Christ will be made known, and the hope of the gospel – a hope that can counter fear and isolation – will spread across our land’
We are urged to become a different sort of church in these coming months: hopeful and rooted in the offering of prayer and praise and over flowing in the service to the world.
If you are isolated in any way and would like some help with shopping or medication collection then please contact Sam Kimpton Smith
Contact Sam on 07798 722 957
If you have any Concerns, or would just like a friendly chat to then please contact Audrey Griffiths

Normally in a crisis the church is the place people come to for prayer and support . With this virus we have a duty of care to protect people and to keep physical contact to a minimum. Even touching a pew that someone else has touched could pass on the virus as we don’t always know who has the illness.
Therefore for everyone’s safety the Church and Church Halls must remain closed for the foreseeable future.
Funerals will be at graveside only with just immediate family present maximum of 5 people including the clergy. Weddings - clergy, bride and groom and the two witnesses making a maximum of 5 people Baptisms are suspended for the time being.
Our website is the best way of getting information and we will be updating this as and when we get information to share. http://www.nck.org.uk
We look forward to the time when we can once again open the doors and come together as a worshiping community. We are holding our communities in prayer
‘May the peace of God which passes all understanding keep our hearts and minds in knowledge and love of God’
